About the Jackson Center
About the Jackson Center
Welcome to the Jackson Center's annual Grape Escape! Our mission is to help kids with cerebral palsy and other motor disorders achieve the highest quality of independent life. In a typical year, the Jackson Center serves between twenty and twenty-five children in thirty-six weeks of classes during the school year and a six-week summer camp.
Since opening in 2005, the Jackson Center has served children from eighteen counties in Indiana as well as some students from neighboring states. We are the only conductive education program in Indiana!
Thank you for joining us -- and for supporting the Jackson Center kids!
About the Jackson Center
About the Jackson Center
At the Jackson Center for Conductive Education, we believe every individual deserves the chance to reach their fullest potential, no matter their diagnosis or physical limitations.
For over two decades, we’ve provided comprehensive, life-changing services to children and adults with motor disabilities, such as cerebral palsy and other neuromotor challenges. Our programs blend intensive physical, occupational, and educational therapies with a holistic approach, helping each person gain greater independence, confidence, and quality of life.
Today, we proudly serve individuals from approximately 18 different counties across Indiana, welcoming children as young as six months old and adults up to 50 years old. Whether a baby is taking their first steps or a young adult is mastering life skills, our passionate team walks alongside each family every step of the way.
In August 2025, we are expanding our mission with the launch of a dedicated day program for older adults, ensuring those who age out of school-based services continue to receive the specialized support, community, and opportunities they deserve.
At the Jackson Center, we don’t just provide therapy — we build a caring community where hope thrives, abilities are celebrated, and possibilities are endless.

Meeting our Financial Goals
Our goal for every child who attends the Jackson Center is for them to achieve their personal best. For some, that means improving their sitting, learning to feed themselves, taking steps with assistance or perhaps walking! For others, it is building the confidence simply to try new things as they work toward greater physical and academic success.
The Jackson Center Board places a high priority on providing services to our kids at rates that are affordable to most families. In some cases, it is necessary to assist families with scholarships. Grape Escape and other fundraising events help us achieve this goal.
Grape Escape is our final and most significant fundraising event of the year. Proceeds from this event help us fill the "gap" between revenue already raised during the year to fund this unique program and the additional funds needed to meet our annual budget.
On average, tuition paid by parents equates to less than one-half of the Jackson Center's annual expenses. This year's goal is to raise $100,000 in net proceeds from Grape Escape to help sustain Jackson Center operations.
Every child and family at the Jackson Center thanks you for your support!

Grape Escape: A Night Where Hope Meets Celebration
Join us for the Jackson Center’s annual Grape Escape, an unforgettable evening where community, compassion, and purpose come together to transform lives. Set against the vibrant backdrop of wine, laughter, and inspiring stories, Grape Escape is more than a fundraiser — it’s a celebration of the courage and potential of the individuals we serve.
The evening promises live and silent auctions featuring exclusive experiences and handcrafted items, a seated dinner with friends and supporters, original artwork created by the children of the Jackson Center, and inspiring stories from families whose lives have been forever changed. This year’s theme, Fire and Ice, sets the stage for a night of elegance, energy, and celebration as we come together to ignite hope and break barriers for those we serve.
At Grape Escape, you’ll not only enjoy a night of entertainment and connection — you’ll become part of a movement to create a brighter, more inclusive future for individuals with motor disabilities.
Help us create a world where every individual’s potential is celebrated and supported.
